I just finished shooting a wedding entirely with a M240+35FLE and M240+75APO... Stunning results, lots of pros and cons to using the system, but actually not the pros and cons I expected at all.
Charles, great low light shots with the 50 Lux. Sharp and plenty of detail, while the noise isn't objectional. My personal limit with the M240 is ISO1600 as I have a low tolerance for noise.
Allen - congratulations!
So I received my RRS plate and grip set yesterday. I haven't had time to put it through its paces yet, but I'm not liking the grip itself. It feels oversized for my hands and gets in the way, but perhaps I just need to get accustomed to it being there.
The grip also gets in the way of the front-facing button, but I very rarely use it so I don't mind that.
The horizontal plate attaches to my Markins Q3 head with knob release nicely. In vertical orientation I have to be extra careful with it because one side is open, so the spring-loaded safety pin on the Markins head will not catch the camera if it was accidentally loosened.
Allen, congratulations! And fantastic images everyone! Sorry for not commenting individually, feeling too lazy these days
You won't see me around here in the next 10 days because I will be on holidays in south of France. I hope to have plenty of good shots to show you when I come back!
Thank you for the kind comments and likes
Edward, love the action series!
Michael, stunning landscape captures! Great PP,ing too.
Katie, wonderful portrait series of your son, and very nice with the CV 75
Rick, very nice.
Phil, excellent shots and PP'ing, particularly the last shot.
Allen, truly congratulations is appropriate!!! As Gary mentioned, I would love to see your images presented at an exhibition/gallery

I'll be in Italy around the same time...Enjoy your holiday Edward!
I am sure you will have spectacular shots when you return.
Edward - do you happen to have a spare voucher for airfare you could send me? I have spent a fair bit of time in France near Lyon - which I happen to love. I really enjoy the lifestyle there....
The Chalk Festival in Pasadena was fun and colorful. Saw a lot of backpacks loaded down with camera equipment, nice to have an M and just the 50mm Summilux for the day. One woman was all frustrated and loudly complaining that she had the wrong lens on and her husband quickly searching through the backpack for the right lens.
Start of the day.
Planning the day.
The second day and finishing up
Brought back memories of my first Beatles album in 1964
This was done by the little lady in the B/W photo, the guy just ate all day
Charles - fantastic low light portraits. Great summary of what looks like a fun evening!
Edward - Holy action shots! Gread job with those!
Zhangyue - Love the dark skies in these ... how are the corners on the 28 cron?
tophoto - The light in the 75mm portrait is actually from my front door. This was shot in my foyer.
Adam - POST SOME! Would love to hear what your thoughts are on using this setup...
Allen - WOW, congrats! I would like more info about your Chicago show next summer ... might be a good trip for me!
Phil - love love love the 35 FLE shots. Now, tell me how you got yourself in this GR situation? ARe you shooting it at all? Should I check the GR thread?
Salvaz - beautiful clarity in the street shots.
Here's one from me with the CV 35 1.2 on the M-E at a neighbors house last night. We had a quick crawfish boil and the boys decided to go out for a boat ride right at dark. This was shot hand held. Surprised I got anything useable here... this is 1/15 of a second at ISO 800 f/1.4.
